Bud & Mary’s Launches “Aware-N-Us” Campaign to Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month Across Four States

Bud & Mary’s, a leading multi-state cannabis operator, today announced the launch of its Batch Aware-N-Us Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, aligning with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. The initiative pairs product sales with meaningful donations to breast cancer nonprofits working in the communities Bud & Mary’s serves across four states, sharing survivor voices, and demonstrating the role cannabis can play in supportive care.

Through several statewide partnerships, Bud & Mary’s will donate $1–$2 per unit sold to local nonprofit organizations, with a minimum commitment of $20,000 in total contributions across four markets. The featured products include Batch Flavors Juicy Melons, a hybrid premium distillate blend of natural fruit terpenes bursting with juicy, sweet, and floral flavors. In Colorado, contributions will also be generated from the sales of limited edition 5-pack infused pre-rolls in Blazy Susan pink iconic papers and a custom-designed pink tin.

“We believe in the power of community, compassion, and delivering products with care,” said Lindsey Fuchs, VP Sales, Bud & Mary’s. “Each product purchased through this initiative helps deliver direct support to local community breast cancer organizations conducting vital work, while honoring the patients and families who inspire us every day.”
